# Kanye West Was a Dirty Little Boy

Kanye West had a problem as an [adolescent](https://parenting.allwomenstalk.com/teenage-phases-your-daughter-may-go-through/) with his disciplinarian mom. In “Raising Kanye,” a new memoir of the hip-hop star’s youth in Chicago, Donda West says she repeatedly punished her son for his interest in raunchy adult magazines and videos, which began in fifth grade. “I’ll never forget the day he took the X-rated magazine to school [and] was passing it around for the other boys to see and the teacher caught him,” writes Donda, who chairs the Chicago State University English Dept. “When she asked him where he’d gotten the magazine, he said, ‘From my mother’s closet!’ . . . Before I knew it, I’d lost my temper and smacked him across the face.” After Kanye entered high school, Donda one day borrowed his VCR to watch a movie - and discovered an ultra-hard-core porn tape inside. “It was triple-X-rated and I was mad as hell.” To punish Kanye, she “required him to do a full-blown research paper complete with footnotes and bibliography . . . ‘The Impact of Watching X-rated Movies on a Teen-age Boy’ . . . Until he finished the paper to my satisfaction, there was to be no television, no going to play basketball, no friends over.”
